Thanks for the advise about cameras. That is something I have not paid attention to over the last decade or so. I did already know that digital zoom is basically a joke though. I'll look around. I understand that cell phone cameras are getting better, but as long as I am working here, I will only buy cheap phones. Cheap phones still have cheap cameras.

As I said above, I have a day pack that I will be taking, but I was also thinking about picking up a HPG kit bag to carry binoculars, a camera and rangefinder so they will be ready quick when I need them. I have an 8 x 42 roof prism type binocular that I will be taking with me. Those of you who have used them, which of the kit bags is the right size to hold that stuff?

Again, thanks.
